Lampada Vitae Tradimus - Hand on the Lamp of Life

At Spalding High School, we seek to ensure that all pupils, whatever their ability, receive high quality teaching and learning throughout the curriculum, so they can achieve their maximum potential. There is no known ceiling to achievement; intelligence can be developed. We seek to build a lifelong love of learning for our pupils.

At Spalding High School we:

• Recognise that everyone has the ability to achieve.  We all have gifts and talents.
• Look after each other’s physical and emotional well-being so that we all feel happy, safe, confident and supported.
• Are honest, trustworthy, respectful, courteous, friendly and kind.
• Are reflective and resilient and value the importance of perseverance.
• Inspire, challenge and help each other.
• Recognise that reciprocity is an essential life skill.
• Build confidence and resourcefulness to reach beyond what we see as our own limitations.
• Celebrate everyone’s achievements and contributions, be they academic, creative, sporting or charitable.
• Respect both diversity and collectiveness and have an open and tolerant mind.
• Take advantage of the opportunities provided in the classroom and extra-curricular programme.
• Support each other’s aspirations and ambitions for our lives and our futures.
• Champion respect for our environment within our School and as global citizens.
• Work proactively and collaboratively with parents/carers and our wider community.
• Build friendships that in some cases might last us a lifetime.

In short, we strive for excellence in all that we do
